"Guangzong Yaozu?"
My aunt didn't react for a while, and said that the title on the Nian'er Gold List would be a matter of months later, and when her nephew showed a cocky expression, she realized that her nephew was bragging.
Auntie turned her beautiful eyes and curled her lips and said: "Yo-yo-yo, we dalang has been appointed as an official, right?"
As soon as you speak, you know it is an old yin and yang person.
"I heard from neighbors in the neighbourhood that only scholars can be in the temple. You, no matter how you get promoted, it's just a replacement."
Although my aunt is gradually getting rid of her happy knot, she is not as resentful as she used to be, but on the topic of "whose nephew or son is more promising", aunt feels that she must stick to her principles.
She is not like her husband Xu Pingzhi. Her sons and nephews are all cubs of the Xu family. They have been raised at home for 20 years and are no different from their own sons.
My aunt couldn't understand Xu Qi'an's majestic posture, and she wailed in front of her from time to time, not at all respecting her aunt.
So, Jiro must be better than Dalang, so that aunt can straighten up in front of his nephew.
"Auntie doesn't believe it?" Xu Qi'an squinted.
"I believe it, it's just promotion." Aunt said nonchalantly.
A while ago, Ershu Xu was also promoted, transferred from the outer city to the inner city, and had a fixed patrol area. That area is full of wealthy households. For the sake of the peace of their home, they will spend money to honor the guards who are in charge of the surroundings and make good relationships.
So the second uncle has a lot of private money recently, and fifty taels of silver have been confiscated, so he still has money to go to Jiaofangsi.
Of course, Xu Ershu never took the initiative to go to Jiaofangsi. After all, the girl and aunt of Jiaofangsi are too far apart, but all the nights in Jiaofangsi are due to the social interaction between colleagues.
On the contrary, when Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang reached the age of Shen Gongbao, and had never married a wife, they would take the initiative to relieve the pressure.
"It's not a promotion, it's a knighthood!" Xu Qi'an said solemnly.
"Pouch......" The aunt was amused, her branches trembling wildly, charming and moving.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Xu Ershu waved his hand, and said with no good air: "Second Uncle, I was trapped in Shanhaiguan to kill the enemy, from south to north, from north to south, killing all blood, just this, the distance I'm almost noble."
Killing from south to north, from north to south, don't you have sore arms, Second Uncle... Xu Qi'an was vomiting in his heart.
Xu Xinnian shook his head, "The knighthood is very important. The last time Dafeng was knighted was the battle of Shanhaiguan 20 years ago. Now that the world is peaceful, where the merits of the battle will give you the knighthood."
"It doesn't have to be meritorious to confer a title." Xu Qi'an touched Xiaodouding's head: "Is that right, ringtone."
Xiaodouding ignored him, with her mouth pressed against the edge of the bowl, sipping porridge.
"It's alright, don't you know how many catties and how many aunts." Aunty chuckled: "If you are not going to rest today, please go to the yamen as soon as possible, so don't delay your second uncle. Ying Mao.
"Dalang, don't worry about the lintel. After this year's Spring Festival, our Xu family will have a jinshi. Then we will have a banquet at home and invite the clansmen over to have a meal."
Chunwei hasn't started yet, auntie is already proud.
Ma De, this is the start I want, my second uncle is partial, my aunt is mean, my cousin is a scholar but he suppresses me everywhere, one sister looks down on me, the other sister robs me... ..... Then, the God of War returned, strongly knighted, and drove the uncle and aunt's family to live in the doghouse... Xu Qi'an thought about it, and found it pretty cool.
Uncle Xu picked up the helmet again and nodded: "It's getting late, I have to go to Yingmao."
The matter of knighthood, he automatically ignored, Quan as a joke for his nephew.
If the Xu family can give a noble honor, it is really a smoke from the ancestral tomb, even if the title of Erlang's gold list, Jinshi and No., may be comparable to Dalang.
At this moment, Xu Pingzhi saw Lao Zhang, the porter, rushing hurriedly, with a flustered expression, as if there was a big bug chasing him behind him.
"Old Old Old Old Master..."
Lao Zhang, the concierge, stammered and said excitedly: "There is a decree!"
"Holy what?" Xu Pingzhi did not hear clearly.
"Holy decree."
"What's the purpose?" Xu Erlang did not hear clearly.
"The imperial decree, the imperial decree of knighthood."
Xu Qi'an glanced at her dull-eyed aunt, and pushed her second uncle out: "Your Majesty’s decree is here."
Yesterday the Fu concubine case was over, Wei Yuan told him that the cabinet has drawn up the imperial decree for knighthood, which is set today.
Xu Pingzhi walked from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, as if he had walked through most of his life. At this moment, the mood is very complicated, nervous, excited, hesitant, fearful... He has experienced a similar feeling once, that is, newly married night of.
From afar, I saw an **** in a python robe standing in the courtyard, with a line of armored guards on both sides.
The **** held a roll of yellow silk sacred decree embroidered with a five-claw golden dragon.
Boom bang bang...
Xu Pingzhi heard his heart beating like a drum.
Seeing the Lord coming, the **** who delivered the decree slowly unfolded the imperial edict and said loudly: "Tong Gong Xu Qi'an takes the edict."
The second uncle knelt down first, and then pulled Xu Qi'an to kneel together.
Xu Ershu stared hard at his nephew, the imperial decree, this kid actually kneeled reluctantly.
"Tong Gong Xu Qi'an is here."
The **** nodded his head and said loudly: "The emperor's emperor said, "I only ruled the world with literary and military forces, and the army commanded the mainstay of the imperial court, and the mainstay of the country.... In the case, Yu Yunzhou killed two hundred rebels..."
Xu Qi'an was stunned when he heard that two hundred rebels were beheaded. He said that I had killed thousands of enemies. Why did I become two hundred?
Next, it suddenly dawned on me that I was blowing too much, and I believed it.
"....... Xu Qi'an is specially designated as Changle County, and he has given 30 fertile fields and five hundred taels of gold."
"Thank your Majesty Longen."
Xu Qi'an shouted a slogan and got up to take the order.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Xu...oh, it's Xu County." Mangpao **** said with a smile.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Xu Qi'an took the imperial decree and handed over a hundred taels of silver notes.
When the mang-robed **** took the guards to stay behind, Xu Ershu seized the imperial decree and read it over and over again for a long time. He obviously didn't know a few characters, but he took it seriously.
Looking around, Xu Ershu's eyes were red.
"Knighted, knighted...My Xu family has a viscount."
He rushed back to the backyard holding the imperial edict and shouted: "Madam, write to the Xu clan, there is a viscount from the Xu family. I will have a big banquet for three days and three nights, hahahahaha. ....."
Xu Qi'an picked up a box of golden Hetian deeds given by Emperor Yuan Jing and surreptitiously returned to the room.
Second-uncle is stupid, but there is no gold in the imperial decree.
...........
Putting the gold into the fragments of the ground book, Xu Qi'an returned to the inner courtyard and saw Xu Ershu and Erlang grabbing the imperial edict. The father and son almost fought.
Xu Erlang said displeased: "Those who don't know think that the imperial edict is for you."
Second Uncle Xu: "Fun!"
Xu Erlang said slightly angrily: "I just want to see how the imperial edict is written."
Second Uncle Xu: "Fun!"
Xu Erlang said angrily: "Father, give me a look at the imperial edict."
Second Uncle Xu: "Funny."
Bah, vulgar martial artist... Xu Erlang walked away and went back to the study to study.
What is the Viscount? He wants a title on the gold list and a champion. Otherwise, all the limelight in the family will be robbed by the older brother.
"Really, are you really knighted?"
Auntie looked at the imperial decree in her husband's arms and opened Catzlan's eyes wide. She hadn't turned her mind yet, as if she was living in a dream.
There was no preparation at all.
"This is still false. There is a jade seal on it. His Majesty also gave five hundred taels of gold and thirty pour fields." Xu Pingzhi said loudly, for fear that others would not believe it.
Five hundred taels of gold, 30 fertile fields... Auntie's eyes flashed with golden light.
"Da Lang, is this true? How does aunt feel living in a dream." Aunt grabbed Xu Qi'an's hand.
Xu Qi'an shook off and said lightly: "This lady, don't try to get close, call me Lord Viscount."
Xu Lingyue looked at her elder brother with admiration.
After my aunt, Xu Qi'an stretched his hand into his arms, took out Tian Qi and patted it on the table, and said: "I have put away the gold by myself. As for the 30 pour fields, my aunt, I will be bothered before I married my wife. ........Lingyue helped Big Brother take care of it."
The aunt's hand that reached halfway froze, she could not do anything with Xu Qi'an, stomped her feet: "Xu Pingzhi..."
The aunt has nothing to do with her nephew, so she can only attack her husband.
Xu Ershu "Heh", "Ning Yan joked with you, but Lingyue doesn't understand this."
Xu Lingyue said in a low voice, "Father, I have studied for a few years and I also know arithmetic."
Furthermore, managing the fields is usually to let the trusted servants in the house run errands outside, and the owner only needs to manage the accounts.
Auntie suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Her previous imaginary enemies were Da Lang and Er Lang's daughter-in-law, but now she discovered that Xu Lingyue, a dead girl, had become rebellious and wanted to fight for power with her as a mother.
"Mother, why are you looking at me like this." Xu Lingyue felt her mother's eyes burning.
"I am not looking at you, I am looking at the white-eyed wolf."
"..." Xu Lingyue.
…………
Speaking of the star-gazing building, the capital, and even people from all over Dafeng, the impression of it is nothing more than two words: high!
In the eyes of Jianghu people, in addition to towering into the clouds, the Observation Tower is also a taboo place for Dafeng, because here lived the only first-class powerhouse of the dynasty.
Very few people think about what kind of place is under the stargazing tower.
Zazaza...
In the gloomy underground, the iron gate slowly rises, and a winding stone step extends to the ground. Every ten steps, there is an oil lamp on the wall, emitting a dim light.
DaDaDa...In the silent air, there was a clear sound of footsteps.
The sound of footsteps gradually became clear, and a dark shadow came up from the ground up the steps.
The dark shadow dangles her hair, covers her cheeks, wears a simple hemp robe, bare feet, and her chest is occasionally full when she walks, making people realize that she is a woman.
And it's a woman with a gully breast.
"I'm still a little short of the fourth rank array teacher, how did the teacher wake me up..." the shadow murmured.
She raised her head and glanced, at the end of the steps, countless rays of light poured down outside the door like a tide, it was the long-lost sunlight.
Stepping out of the iron gate, the black shadow stood in the silent hall, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and embraced the sunlight.
She hasn't been born for five years, and she has been suppressed by Teacher Jianzheng at the bottom of the stargazing room.
Passing through the corridor on the first floor, the woman with the Beatles scatters up the steps and walks to the second floor, thump thump...the sound of footsteps came from overhead, one holding a tray with a tray inside The white warlock in bottles and bottles walked down.
The two met each other.
The white warlock froze suddenly, and his face became pale a little, as if he had seen something terrible.
About three to four seconds, the white warlock turned around and fled in panic.
The disheveled woman, out of kindness, promptly reminded: "Brother, slow down and slide carefully."
When the voice fell, the soles of the white warlock's feet suddenly slipped, Gulugulu rolled down, and by the way, knocked the woman down, and the two of them rolled downstairs together.
Boom....
The bottles in the tray were shattered and filled with colorful dust.
"Help, help..." The white warlock's face was full of blood and gradually turned into blue-black. He pinched his neck and said with difficulty:
"This, this is, Brother Song Qing, refining, refining poison..."
The woman clutched her neck and said with difficulty: "Sister sister didn't bring the antidote."
"The antidote is inside..." The white-clothed warlock seemed unable to move, his eyes fixed on a broken porcelain bottle and the powder on the ground.
With the help of the woman, the white-clothed warlock took the antidote, and then climbed downstairs to the first floor lobby, and shouted at the white-clothed warlocks who were cooking and refining medicine:
"Sister Zhong is out!!!!"
Kang Dang... the porcelain bottles, spoons and other utensils in the hands of the white warlocks fell to the ground.
They twisted their necks stiffly and looked over with blank faces.
The woman with the Beatles continued to climb up the steps, passing by the seventh floor, the alchemy room on the seventh floor "boomed" open, the floor and walls shook, rustling dust.
"Why did it explode? Why did it explode?!" Song Qing's roar came.
The woman ignored her and continued to climb the building, and finally came to the top of the star-gazing building, the Bagua Terrace.
White-clothed and white-hued, the immortal supervisor sits awkwardly behind the case, squeezing the wine glass, looking into the distance in a daze.
"Teacher."
The woman yelled respectfully, her eyes on the wine and food on the table.
"Zhong Li, the opportunity for your promotion to Rank 4 has arrived." Jian Zheng said leisurely.
The woman trembled and raised her head slightly, revealing her white sharp jaw.
..........
Dafeng's titles of the opposite **** are divided into five categories: male, hou, uncle, son, and male. Each title is divided into five grades (levels).
Xu Qi'an's full title is "third-class Changle County."
This is a knighthood with no real power, just an extra monthly salary.
However, the meaning of knighthood is not in power, but in the glory and social status it symbolizes.
Does it count as a nobleman for the title of the gold list? No, this kind of power is only for a while, and it is truly a symbol of extinction of common people, becoming a symbol of the noble class, and a hereditary title.
Of course, Xu Qi'an's title cannot be replaced hereditary, but at least for one day, the Xu family will be a nobleman and no longer a commoner.
In the future, if Changle County marries a commoner woman as his wife, he will be impeached by impeachment. The Manchu Civil and Martial Association said: Is the princess not fragrant or the princess is not beautiful?
Married a commoner woman as his wife.
In short, the Xu family has become a viscount for the first time in hundreds of years, completely getting rid of the private households and becoming a nobleman.
For Xu Pingzhi, the head of the family, it is probably the brightest moment in life. On the same day, I took Xu Qi'an to the ancestral grave to offer incense.
After coming back, I plan to post invitations widely, hold a banquet, and invite friends and relatives to the house to have a drink and celebrate.
But my aunt felt wrong and said: "The day after tomorrow will be Chunyu, which will affect Erlang's study~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, the day after tomorrow will be Chunyu. The top priority of Yu Yuelongmen is to have a banquet at home It will definitely affect Erlang's study. Xu Pingzhi felt that his wife's words were reasonable, so he asked Xu Erlang to move to the old house in the outer city, study hard, and the banquet would not change.
Xu Lingyin thinks it's great.
Xu Erlang exited the live broadcast room cursingly, and went back to the old house with a servant and a maid.
When Shangxiang returned, Xu Qi'an generously allocated 70 taels of silver to fund the banquet tomorrow.
The seventy-two has been a lot, it is the savings of ordinary people who did not eat or drink for three years; it was the prostitution for two years; it was Xu Qi'an's current salary for one year.
"Just come back, I haven't been to Master Hengyuan's health preservation hall yet, I have to send some money to relieve widows and widows and loneliness..."
Xu Qi'an digs out five coins from the square head cabinet, intending to go to low-priced white prostitution Hengyuan's body training exercises.
Suddenly, there was a monk of God in his mind sitting by the bed, with a low and ethereal voice: "Leave the capital."
Leaving the capital? !
What do you mean..... Xu Qi'an has a serious expression. Monk Shenshu never actively communicates with him, and sleeps silently in his body.
Now let him leave the capital.
Is there something going on in the capital, or am I going to have something wrong?
As all kinds of thoughts flickered, he saw the gray world in front of him, the misty gray spread out, and a dilapidated temple appeared. The temple door was sitting cross-legged with a beautiful **** master.
This mysterious monk, his hands folded in meditation, his brown eyes looked gently, and his voice was ethereal: "Leave the capital."
